Xia Yangyang got straight to the point: “Dad, did you know that yesterday was mom’s death anniversary?”

Xia Liangdong’s expression turned utterly grim: “How could I forget?”

A flicker of sadness sparkled on Xia Liangdong’s face: “It’s been exactly ten years since your mom passed away. I visited her grave yesterday. The carving on her tombstone is still of her from ten years ago, smiling gently and beautifully, while I have aged considerably.”

Observing Xia Liangdong’s melancholic demeanor, Xia Yangyang spoke in a cold voice: “Dad, I want to ask you something. Please tell me the truth.”

Xia Liangdong was taken aback, rarely had he seen his daughter so icy.

He had an ominous premonition: “Say it.”

“How did mom really die that year? Did she die of illness…or she committed suicide?”

As Xia Yangyang mentioned the word “suicide,” her lips were trembling.

Even to this very moment, Xia Yangyang struggled to come to terms with the reality.

In response to the word “suicide”, Xia Liangdong froze like a petrified man, his expression cycling through an array of emotions.

Just observing Xia Liangdong’s dramatic reaction, Xia Yangyang could already guess the answer.

Xia Liangdong replied sternly: “Who told you all of this, your grandma?”

“How I came to know is none of your concern. I just need an honest response, did mom commit suicide that year? Tell me, did she?!”

Xia Yangyang was getting worked up.

She clenched her hands into fists.

Her body was trembling uncontrollably.

All of a sudden, the man she had been calling ‘Dad’ for over twenty years felt like a complete stranger.

Xia Liangdong looked at Xia Yangyang and felt all the air leave his body.

He sank deep into the couch.

He covered his eyes with a hand in an agony: “Yes…your mom committed suicide.”

His words felt like they had plunged Xia Yangyang eighteen levels deep into hell.

So, it was true after all.

Everything grandma said was true.

All of it had happened because of dad’s wrongful affair which led mom to suicide.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t accept it.

She was supposed to have a loving mother and a warm, perfect family.

However, all of that was ruined by her own father.

Xia Yangyang gripped her fingers tightly, not to let her tears fall.

“Dad, why did you do that? Why did you cheat back then? What was not good about mom? Just why did you seek another woman, why did you betray her, why did you hurt her, why did you push her to the edge forcing her to end her own life?”

Xia Liangdong looked extremely pained, barely able to meet her gaze.

Mentioning Tan Zhen, he seemed to drown in his past emotions and began to sob quietly.

Xia Yangyang watched him.

It could be said that he admitted to all of it.

Finally, Xia Yangyang understood the despair mom must have felt, the betrayal from the closest person.

She felt this world was too foul and repulsive, not worth cherishing.

“Why did you do it, tell me. Mom had not been dead for even half a year, and you married Liu Ruyan. Xia Weiwei is only two years younger than me, which means, you cheated for at least eight years. I never brought it up, it didn’t mean I didn’t care about it. I always tried to convince myself. I told myself, although you betrayed mom, you loved her at one point. You were just momentarily blinded by the illusion of that woman. But now, mom committed suicide because of you, the two of you murdered my mom, you are murderers!”

Xia Yangyang became uncontrollably hysterical.

“Who said your mom was killed by us? What happened to her was completely her own doing.” A woman’s voice echoed clearly from the doorway.

Turning her head, Xia Yangyang saw Liu Ruyan..
